This is a pretty creative idea ! Off course the quality is questionable but it's resourceful to make a lens out of water. If the conditions are good, you should be able to have a pretty good water drople, although sticking just a single lens is never quite a good idea. Edit: Fun fact, one of the first microscopes ever invented used a water droplet as the only optical component. (Im mentioning the Leeuwenhoek Microscope, approximately 1600)
@@concernedcitizen9101 because it's a one lens only and i suppose the shape of the droplet makes it look the way it does. It probably has something to do with the fact that the focus range is small and the further part of the droplet that is more away from an object is blurred, thus causing the effect (its my hypothesis)
@@photonik-luminescence you know even if you put droplets on other lenses it wont have any changes right? cause you have the item as close to the main lens and off-screen to the other lenses
GERMS: WE ARE HERE BRO Edit: *THOSE WHO THINK THAT THIS IS A JOKE THAT MAKES NO SENSE, LET THEM SEE THE VIDEO CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND* STILL NO ONE UNDERSTOOD WHAT I MEANT 😭 Edit : Simply, *IF U SEE CAREFULLY, THERE IS A VERY SMALL PLACK POINT IN THIS HAND AFTER THE ZOOM , THAT'S*
I always used to do this in school since I was a little kid. Id be at my desk with my head on the desk tired and id be yawning, eyes would water. A tear drop would form and hang down from my pupil since my head was face down on the desk. All of a sudden I could see the individual grains of wood and my fingerprint ridges crystal clear.
Isnt it more about the curvature of the drop than the size, yes smaller size would have a greater volume to surface tension ratio making it more round but you could try to put hydrophobic coating around the lens sides and have a very round droplet
I mean the with lens makers formula calculating focal length via the "radius of curvature" of these droplets , if its small size it will have a smaller radius of curvature which in fact reduces the focal length and thereby as P=1/f power increases
I like how this comment and the replies triggered some interesting (and somewhat silly) math discourse, when the real problem I see this suggestion posing is the clarity of the water drop once you use hydrophobic powder to create the super round droplet lol. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you were to actually try this, the droplet would be way too cloudy from the powder for practical use, no? You'd be unable to see anything you're magnifying with clarity ^^;
After some digging, damn, you're right. Some camera companies distorted the word for marketing purposes, but some like Nikon still call them "micro lens"
Pretty good idea but try messing with the curvature of the water droplet since the angle of incidence and refracted is really what makes a macro lens zoom in
@@aliyah9any phone with a wide fov lense should do the trick, I have the s23 ultra and using the 0.6 zoom I can focus on the fingertips like on the video
@@Boostiverse u do realize that the s21 ultra can zoom up to 100 times and still have 1080p quality while the latest iphone can barely do 10 and have 1080p 💀💀 stop making a fool of yalls self 🤣🤣
@@graesonthebaker you have no idea what you’re talking about, iPhones record 4K 60fps on all the cameras, if Apple could make a ton of zoom work well then they would also have it, and they wouldn’t fake it like Samsung where it adds an overlay on the moon 😂
Glass and water molecules are both polar, so they attract. This is the same reason why if you try to pour water out of a glass too slowly, it dribbles down the side and makes a mess.
btw bois, i work with cameras and electronic stuff, and i can definitely say that the microscopes that use water *dont directly have water on the lenses.* the water in usually in a small glass container. Getting water on your camera isnt a good idea, and it definitely isnt for prolonged periods of time. This is common sense, but apparently nobody is educated to know that water damages electronics.
This is pretty cool! I used to do this when I was a kid, with a feature phone my parents had. I had lots of fun doing this with clothes, I could see fibres inside the individual fibres 😅
I have the only production phone that has a microscope camera built in, Oppo Find X3 Pro... The photos of just day to day objects are fascinating, especially fabrics, seeing the intricate weve etc
That’s actually pretty damn cool you can turn your phone into a diy microscope basically . I would’ve never thought of that but I’m also not a photographer.
They're was a biologist that found out that if he placed a droplet of oil on the end of his microscope, he could see a lot clearer and closer than just the standard, out-of-the-box microscope
Antoni van Leeuwenhoek made a microscope with this technique in the 17th century getting up to 275x magnification compared to the at the time standard of 30x, this opened up peoples understanding of the microscopic world, very cool
